Yes. The course cannot be completed in fewer than 4 calendar days. Texas law limits online driver education to 6 hours of instruction per day, and the course requires 24 total hours — meaning at least 4 full days of instruction at the maximum pace.

The 6-hour daily cap is enforced by the course automatically. Once 6 hours of active instructional time have been logged on a given calendar day, the course will not allow further progress until the following day.

Enrollment provides 120 days of course access from the date of purchase. All 24 hours must be completed within that window. Most families take several weeks to a few months, fitting the coursework around school and other activities.

Can the teen do 8 hours in a day by crossing midnight? No. The daily cap is per calendar day and resets at midnight. The course tracks this automatically and will stop allowing progress once 6 hours are logged for that day.

What if the teen only has 30 minutes some days — is that fine? Yes. There is no minimum per day — only a maximum. The teen can work at any pace, as long as all 24 hours are completed within the 120-day enrollment window.

Does Module 1 have its own minimum time? Yes. Module 1 requires a minimum of 6 hours of instructional time before the DPS exam unlocks. This means Module 1 alone cannot be rushed through in less than a full day at the 6-hour maximum pace.
